Tile repair for Hockenden homes

Tile repair in Hockenden, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hockenden. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BR8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Hockenden

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Hockenden?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hockenden and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Hockenden included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hockenden

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
